Her mother''s dying wish was that she take refuge there with her Aunt PatienceBut when Mary arrives, the warning of the coachman echoes in her mind. Jamaica Inn has a desolate power and behind its crumbling walls, Patience is a changed woman, cowering before her brooding, violent husband.

When Mary discovers the inn''s dark secrets, the truth is more terrifying than anything she could possibly imagine and she is forced to collude in her uncle''s murderous schemesAgainst her will, she finds herself powerfully attracted to her uncle''s brother, a man she dares not trust.

Jamaica Inn is a dark and gripping gothic tale that will remind readers of two other great classics, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. This was also made into a film, also called Jamaica Inn, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
